Congratulations to Fort Lauderdale High School senior Mya Aly for being the first recipient of the NSU Conrad & Scherer Pathways Undergraduate in Law Scholarship. The four-year scholarship supports students pursuing a bachelor’s degree in law at Nova Southeastern University (NSU). Mya participated as a Fellow in the first year of the Conrad & Scherer Pathways to Careers in Law, a collaboration between Conrad & Scherer, Nova Southeastern University’s Shepard Broad College of Law (NSU Law), and Fort Lauderdale High School’s Law Magnet program.

“The more I learn about law, the deeper I fall for it,” Mya said. “Participating in the Pathways program introduced me to NSU, allowed me to meet practicing lawyers, and exposed me to judges who overcame challenges in their careers. I was inspired. Now, nothing scares me, and I’m eager to become a lawyer and help people.
